A new image of the entire iPhone 16 series has surfaced on X via Sonny Dickson, showcasing the alleged size differences between the Pro and non-Pro models. The image highlights the backs of the devices, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max allegedly featuring a 6.9-inch panel, next to the iPhone 16 Pro, which is expected to offer a 6.3-inch display.
The 16 Plus will retain the same 6.7-inch screen size as its predecessor. The smallest phone in the lineup is the baseline iPhone 16 with its 6.1-inch screen. Both non-Pro 16 models will feature a vertically stacked camera design, rumored to support Spatial Video recording. All four Apple 16 series phones are expected to sport slimmer display bezels. The Pro models will retain their 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, while the vanilla and Plus models will continue with 60Hz panels.
The Apple 16 and 16 Plus are anticipated to gain the Action Button, first seen on the iPhone 15 Pro models. Additionally, Apple may introduce a new Capture Button across the entire Apple 16 series. This mechanical button with a capacitive surface will mimic the soft shutter buttons found on cameras. Recent leaks also reveal minor battery capacity gains for all models except the 16 Plus, which will see a 9% reduction in battery capacity. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch.

It is still early, but details regarding the display specifications for next year’s iPhone series have emerged from sources within the supply chain. According to the leaked information, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are anticipated to receive an increase in size, with displays measuring 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches, respectively, both utilizing 120Hz LTPO panels. However, the reported size of the 16 Pro Max display may raise some skepticism, so it’s advisable to approach this information cautiously.
Conversely, the situation differs for the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models, as they are expected to retain the same display sizes of 6.12 inches and 6.69 inches, respectively, along with a consistent 60Hz refresh rate. This aligns with insights shared by industry expert Ross Young, who suggests that the Pro Motion feature will not be introduced to the standard models until 2025.
Regarding the 2024 iPhone 16 lineup, the inclusion of Dynamic Island technology is anticipated across all models, which is not surprising. While loyal users of older iPhone models might not find the 60Hz display a significant concern, the displays on Apple’s pricier base iPhone models are starting to appear less competitive compared to flagship and midrange Android devices in the market.
